According to some studies, one of the main benefits of a rich copper peptide creams is the ability to reduce inflammation – which is linked to premature skin aging. Dr. Perricone always talks about the damaging and aging effects of inflammation on the skin.

A quick story: A cat accidentally scratched my face (under my right eye on top of my cheek) pretty bad……..It was a pretty deep scratch and was even bleeding.

After I cleaned the wound and let it close up a bit – I remembered a study I read about the benefits of copper peptide for wound healing, skin repair, and scar reduction. So I started to apply a thick layer of the NuGlow copper peptide cream - formulated for the eye area – under my right eye every night.

Within a week you could hardly see the scratch. Now a few years later you can’t see it at all and there is hardly any scarring.

If you look very closely (like my dermatologist did) you can see a faint white line. But I wonder how bad the scar would have been if I didn't use copper peptide cream to help it heal?
